Psalms 1 1 Hallelujah. 2 I will praise the LORD with all my heart in the assembled congregation of the upright. 阿肋路亚。在义人的集会和团聚中，我必要全心向上主赞颂。 2 Great are the works of the LORD, to be treasured for all their delights. 3 3 Majestic and glorious is your work, your wise design endures forever. 他的作为辉煌光明，他的正义永远常存。 4 You won renown for your wondrous deeds; gracious and merciful is the LORD. 他使他的奇迹不可遗忘，上主实在是慈爱而温良。 5 4 You gave food to those who fear you, mindful of your covenant forever. 6 5 You showed powerful deeds to your people, giving them the lands of the nations. 将他伟业的异能启示给选民，把外邦人的产业赏赐给他们。 7 The works of your hands are right and true, reliable all your decrees, 8 Established forever and ever, to be observed with loyalty and care. 为万世万代永远立定，全是基于真理和公正。 9 You sent deliverance to your people, ratified your covenant forever; holy and awesome is your name. 他速来救赎他的百姓，永远立定了他的约盟；他的名是神圣而可敬。 10 6 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; prudent are all who live by it. Your praise endures forever. 敬畏上主，是智慧的开始：实行敬畏的人，算有智慧；他的荣誉，必定存留永世。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 111] A temple singer (Psalm 111:1) tells how God is revealed in Israel's history (Psalm 111:2-10). The deeds reveal God's very self, powerful, merciful, faithful. The poem is an acrostic, each verse beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. 2 [1] In the assembled congregation of the upright: in the temple. Cf Psalm 149:1. 3 [3] Your: the psalm refers to God in the third person throughout; the shift to the second person is for the sake of inclusive language. 4 [5] Food to those who fear you: probably a reference to the manna in the desert, which elsewhere is seen as a type of the Eucharist. Cf John 6:31-33, 49-51. 5 [6] Lands: literally, "inheritance, heritage." 6 [10] The fear of the LORD: reverence for God, the Hebrew term for religion. |
